Bisquick
Boxed batter base
Bisquick is a brand name for a premixed baking product containing flour, shortening, salt, and leavening.
It simplifies recipes for biscuits, pancakes, and other quick breads by combining dry ingredients that would otherwise be measured separately: I made dumplings with Bisquick.
The name has become somewhat genericized for any similar baking mix.
